You know how a normal person's immune system attacks that which is foreign to the body, like rejecting a transplanted organ? Well, in theory, shouldn't a mutant's system ttack & eventually reject this foreign antibody?
 
You are thinking way too far into this. The cure could do whatever the writers wanted it to do because there way no science behind it.
 
i simply think leech's powers override such a defense system.

although i don't know whether Wolverine's antibodies could act like a cure's cure...

it would be nice if he was the other side of the spectrum and how leech wouldn't be able to affect him.

But by that same reasoning the writers could have an "out" if they wanted to continue the story & restore any mutant's powers.

Exactly. They can do whatever they want.

YAY MORE ****ING WOLVERINE IN THESE MOVIES!!!!!
 
Seems to me that if it did work on him he'd be dead in minutes; his age, his wounds, all that would catch up to him & the adamantium would likely poison him.
 
Yea, I wouldn't try to look that deep into it- for movies I'd rather see some cool symbolic moments than scientific ones.

For those bringing up Wolverine, what about Rogue? Didn't Zak recently comment that she could just absorb Leech's powers instead of be cured (for the sake of showing us avenues the film could have taken)
 
I don't think so;
1-he suppresses mutants' powers before they get really close to him, much less touch him.
2-the "cure" is his antibody, not him.
 
We all know that is the fluids segregated by the X Factor between the Brain and the cerebelum of a mutant what causes them to have mutant powers (Remeber in X2 with Jason Striker, how Striker would use X Factor Fluid from his son to control , Lady Deathstrike, Nightcrawler, and Cyclops?). Thats how they made the cure, they use Leeche's X Factor Fluid to create this "antibody" that goes straight to the DNA of a mutant and changes it into Human DNA, I put quote on quote antibody because the principles used for this "cure" are the ones of a virus, lets be specific and mention the HIV virus which changes the human DNA in RNA which causes the human body to stop creating white cells in the blood (antibodies), just like this "cure" causes the X Factor to Stop producing X Factor Fluid...BUT it doesnt kill the X Factor, so eventually the X Factor as an organ that it is, will start producing X Fluid once the mutant inmune system catches up. Now this is not an atibody, they call it antibody in the movie because of the human point of view, but the "cure" is actually a virus genetically enginered from Leeche's X Factor fluid, so the "cure" condition is actually a mutant decease for what they would need a mutant vaccine for this and thats why the mutant inmune system cannot avoid this "antibody" rather called Mutant Virus. It's all behind the X Factor Fluids, thats the reason why they still need the boy to create it, they cant replicate X Factor Fluid. Seems like the only one to understand this was Storm:

"There is nothing to cure,
nothing's wrong with any of us
for that matter"

Mutations is just that, mutation, not a decease.
 
So Long Story Short, You Agree With Me.
And The Word Is "secreted", Not "segregated". "Segregated" Is What They Used To Do When Blacks Weren't Allowed To Eat At Certain Restaurants Or Drink From The Same Fountain As Whites.

, I guess as being a person of color myself, I have segregation in my mind too much

heh, now that you said it it probably wouldn't have been a good idea but this could have been his sideline in this while scott is leading the troops an all...

the wolverine over exposure started really in x2, it's not my fault:(

ps you know it's a good idea....
 
I think that due to the fact that Leech's powers only worked while he was in close proximity to the mutant in question that it cannot be permanant. Like a flu jab only covers you for a year.
 
Ever read "Mutant 2099"? In that book, mutants are required by the government to regularly take medications to suppress their X-gene.
 
My H.R. director had yet another theory;
A human being can be allergic to something while another isn't. Another could be immune to something that most aren't. So who's to say the "cure" would have the exact same effect on every mutant?
 
Batman the 6th said:
Magneto is either really powerful, or something is ineffective.

I'm not so sure which way to go on this, but my first instinctive thought was that Mags was way to powerful... after all the cheering and popcorn spillage. :p
 
My guess, if they make a 4th that takes place a few months after this one, Rogue will start to get her powers back. Magneto will not be a main villain at first, but towards the end, his full power will be back. BTW, did Pyro survive?
